Can you use a fan after taking fever-reducing medicine and sweating to lower your temperature?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me if it's okay to use a fan after taking fever-reducing medicine and sweating?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication.
There are many factors that can affect the respiratory system in children.

The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
